WWE Tough Enough Recap (6/30): Competitor Eliminated, Roman Reigns Appears, Cast Takes Back Bumps
Welcome to Wrestling Inc's live viewing party for Season 6, episode 2 of WWE Tough Enough! Tonight we'll find out who gets eliminated after Hank's confidence got the best of him. Also, will Tanner keep dominating the competition?
Renee Young and Chris Jericho introduce Daniel Bryan, Hulk Hogan and Paige, our judges.
- The cast is shown bickering over who is the weakest, specifically everyone singling out Dianna for not being emotionally strong. They call her "Princess Dianna." Alex says you don't have to know history or matches to be a wrestler, and says knowledge means nothing. Wow. I wonder if these cast members realize this comes down to a fan vote.
Does @ToughAlexF think knowing the history of wrestling gives @ToughPatrick an edge? #ToughEnough pic.twitter.com/j9lDLYbc2U

The contestants are giving a swimming challenge, going through dark, gator infested waters to retrieve an NXT belt and bring it back. We see a gator in the water, although I'm not sure if it's real. Alex is out of the competition, sucking wind early. I guess knowledge of swimming means nothing to Alex. Dianna won yet again, her third straight challenge she's won.
Tanner wins for the men, but is accused of cheating by Josh. Booker says to win by any means necessary. Mada and Alex didn't finish. Daria dropped her belt and Billy Gunn goes off on her.
We come back to Josh accusing Tanner of cheating, and Tanner says they can fight if he wants. Tanner gets frustrated talking to him and walks away. We see Giorgia consoling Daria, and accusing Dianna of cheating in the competition, too. Elsewhere, Patrick tries to get Dianna and Gabi to literally kiss and make up.
GAME OVER! says @ToughTanner!

Roman Reigns is there with the Tough Enough contestants, which made the female cast very happy. He says he doesn't think they can take a spear, so he brings in Bull Dempsey. He wants them to all take his finish as we go to commercial. For whatever reason, they don't, mercifully.

It's bump time, and Patrick easily takes the best of the bunch. ZZ's looks rough. They then have to take bumps in the super-padded high flier ring off the top rope. Dianna doesn't look like she wants to do it, and takes a horrible bump. Again, Patrick's is great, as is Tanner's. Giorgia does the best of the women.
We come back Dianna, Daria and Amanda are all at each other's throats. It results in Dianna asking to switch rooms with ZZ, which he agrees to.
We're at the end of the show, and Paige tells Alex he sounded like a moron with his "knowledge means nothing" comment. Hogan says everyone needs to know the history.
Hogan asks ZZ what kind of pie he likes, and he says sugar-free. He also spits off a magical metaphor. He has a great personality. Hogan criticized Daria for dropping the title in the river, and says Mada and Alex are quitters.
Daniel Bryan puts Alex in the bottom three, Paige picks Sara Lee because she doesn't stand out, and Dianna is picked by Hogan for her attitude. The three say their piece and the judges offer no saves. Alex earns only 15 percent of the votes, and is gone. Shew.
Alex is sent home! Yes! #ToughEnough https://t.co/BdycflsYiT
